chapter 21

I hurriedly slid down the cliff.

I had decided that if it was only slime, it would be fine. In fact, Ouka has defeated almost all the slimes.

It was the master’s fault for not knowing about the Queen’s biology.

The liquid part that took in Ouka began to emit light.

At the same time, the side that was taken in showed a pained expression.

It struggled as if it was drowning, spitting out air bubbles from its mouth.

Ouka, vagina

Species: Youkai fox

Job: Slave

Level: 18

HP: 66/90

MP: 60/540

Attack Power: 180

Defense: 90

Agility: 360

Destiny: 18

It’s sucking up more and more HP. If I don’t help immediately, her life is in danger.

When I got my feet on the ground, I took out a saber from the item box.

But–

“Ouka ……?”

The rampaging Ouka had stopped moving.

I didn’t think it was possible – but I could see her eyes shining.

She stared at the upper half of the slime’s body, which was in a mud doll state.

“’Gvuahhhh!”

Ouka screamed in the liquid.

With her whole body, she pushed the dagger up to the top of the slime.

The —- luminescence stopped.

The Queen collapsed on the spot instead of scattering.

“…… Oh, Ouka!”

“Bwah!”

At the same time I screamed, the Queen’s lower body was sliced open and Ouka popped out with her bodily fluids.

I hurriedly ran over to Ouka and picked her up, who was covered in slime bodily fluids all over her body.

Her clothes were missing, probably because she had been hit by the slime’s acid attack.

I dissolved my own robe, and since I don’t have any spare clothes, I let her put on the uniform jacket I”m wearing.

Ouka’s cheeks swelled up like a squirrel’s – and

“Uh-huh.”

I threw up.

I hadn’t eaten dinner, so all that came out was stomach fluid.

“Yeah, it’s up there….”

With a sob, large tears fell from Ouka’s eyes.

“Oh, good, good, good. Good job.”

“Yes, master!”

Ouka clings to me. I stroked her head gently.

But I’m the one who made Ouka do it…….Normally, I think it’s more natural for people to be afraid of me, hate me, or reject me.

Well, that’s another reason why it’s too convenient …… for a contract, a sl*ve contract.

Ouka cries and tells me what happened.

I just nod and pat her on the back.

“I’m sorry. I made a bad decision. But you did it. That’s nice.”

“……yes.”

“Ouka only sniffed as she calmed down.”

“Master too.”

Ouka takes a deep breath and slowly speaks out.

“Is this how your master raised the bar, too?”

“Hmmm, well, I’ve done something similar.”

“It’s…….”

Ouka’s face rises.

Her eyes, red with tears, meet mine.

“Is that why you’re looking at me like that, Master?”

I had no idea what Ouka was talking about.

No, I get it. I tried not to.

The pure eyes that stared at me must have been questioning me since the first time I met their eyes.

“Master’s eyes are like the depths of darkness where there is no light …… very cold eyes.”

For a moment, my heart nearly palpitated at those words.

Who of my classmates would have said I had eyes like a dead fish?

Since that day……

Desperately trying to keep my feelings in check – I smiled a little bit.

Then, in answer, she muttered.

“…… Let’s go home.”
